A/N: I'm so so so sorry I haven't updated in ages. I've been swamped down with homework and I haven't been able to think of any ideas for this story. So, here's the next chapter!

Disclaimer: Me? Own them? Hah! Yeah right!

The ride back to Lindsay's apartment was deadly silent and you could cut the tension with a knife. Danny kept glancing over at Lindsay, but she had zoned out at the beginning of the journey and just stared out of the windows, hers eyes blank, as a solitary tear occasionally rolled down her cheek. Whenever she sniffed, Danny would open his mouth to try and comfort her, but he had never suffered a loss like this, so he had no idea how to console her without making it worse.

As they pulled up in front of Lindsay's apartment building, Danny turned to her, and tried to speak some words of comfort to her. He was really worried.

"Lindsay," he started, but cut himself off quickly. Lindsay hadn't acknowledged her name or that Danny was getting out of the car. She just climbed out and walked solemnly up to the door, unlocking it.

Once she got in, she saw a letter on the floor, a bright yellow envelope with her name scrawled on it, with her address.

Lindsay frowned when she saw the envelope and ripped it open. Danny, standing slightly in front of her, frowned when he saw her eyes well up as she read the letter. However, it all became clear when she handed it to him to read.

Long time no speak huh? You really work too many hours at that lab you know. I try to phone your cell, but I always get voicemail. Honestly L, this has gone past 'job dedication' and is currently bordering on 'job OBSESSION'. Honestly, I'm serious. I know you have a thing for your co-worker, who you are 'just friends' with, but just ask him out for a drink. I'm sure nicer conversation would present itself over dinner, rather than a dead body, huh?

HeeHee!!!

Anyway, want to know why I sent you such an official letter (cough cough)?!

Well… I GOT THE PROMOTION!!! Honestly Lilo, it's the job of my dreams, I am so happy. But then again, you probably know that huh?

How are you coping with the stress? Don't deny it, you know it's true. Come on Lindsay, not all cases can be solved straight away. But then again, knowing you, you've been working solidly at the lab and you have now solved the case. So, who were you working the case with again? BossMan? Stella? Or Lover-Boy? I bet it's Danny isn't it. Danny and Lilo, sitting in the tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! Yay! I finally get to get you back for all the times you teased me about Hubert (HIS NAME WAS NOT THAT BAD!!!).

Sorry sis, but I have to go, as I start my new job tomorrow. Oh, I never told you what it was did I? I'm the chief editor at the Montana Times. It's a dream come true. I'll send you an edition soon. Not my first one, but one where there is lots of juicy gossip.

Talking of gossip, did you know that Matty J has re-married again? This is his sixth wife now.

Anyway, gotta go. Call me when you are free so we can catch up.

Miss ya loads.

Love you forever!

Danny sighed softly as he turned to Lindsay. He still hadn't got used to the emptiness in her eyes. They were void of all emotion. This wasn't the Lindsay he knew and loved. Wait, he thought. Did I just say love? He sighed when he realised that yes, he did love his Montana, but now he needed to be there for her. He gathered her up into his arms as she sobbed hysterically, hands grabbing fistfuls of his shirt. He pulled her over to the sofa and sat her down, whispering comforting words in her ears.

"Can we watch a game show or something?" whispered Lindsay.

Danny nodded and turned on the TV. After a few questions, Lindsay started muttering the answers, and by the end she had even beaten the contestant! Danny stared at her in awe. How was it possible for one person to know that much? Lindsay turned her head up and smiled gently.

"That was fun," she said. "But now I need to phone Milli to tell her that… I… won."

Tears once again welled up as she started to tumble, but Danny dashed forward and caught her.

"Come on," he said. "Try and get some sleep." Lindsay nodded, and Danny scooped her up in his arms, and carried her to her bedroom.

Once Lindsay had climbed into bed, she tugged Danny's hand, and silently begged him to lie with her. So Danny slipped off his shoes, and lay on the bed with Lindsay, who immediately snuggled up against his chest. She didn't want to be alone tonight.
